WWF Notes It looks like the final card for WrestleMania II has been released after this week's Prime Time and it goes as follows... WrestleMania II WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart Tito Santana & The British Bulldogs vs Sika & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji $20,000 Battle Royal Bull Ganter, One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Roma, Hercules, Manny Fernandez, Jim Powers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Honkytonk Man, Sika, Sting, The Tonga Kid, Brutus Beefcake, Brian Blair, & Jim Brunzell, and others Not too many surprises here in terms of extra matches. Each of the contests does have some backstory to it. One source inside of the WWF pointed out how the matches aren't all set to be feud enders but rather feud continuers... whatever that word means. Long story short, matches like Tito and the Dogs vs Muraco and Demo is going to be an ongoing feud over the next couple of months while many expect Andre and Hansen to be the one off. We did see a couple of tag team encounters with Hansen and Dibiase vs Hogan and Andre but in terms of one on one this will be it. Lots of rumors surrounding King Kong Bundy who has been vocal that he wanted the Andre match and the payoff that went with it. He came back to the WWF to be a top guy and has been positioned in an upper card spot but not a main event which has upset the big guy. Rude and Fernandez have also had some issues as they wanted to be a full-time tag team but WWF officials have not wanted to go in that direction with the other members of the roster. ​Speaking of tag teams... the Killer Bees showed up this week on syndication and will be at WrestleMania but some have already heard they are upset about their positioning. The WWF is high on a new tandem of Sting and Tonga Kid while teams like the Harts, Rockers, and Bulldogs all get some great shine on television. Perhaps one of the biggest stories out of this week is that Hulk Hogan has been a key point in doing some cross promotion with the JWA and WWF. Hogan and Andre are HUGE draws in Japan and have been signed up for some tours but how does this affect their WWF schedules? I know one of the dates is a SNME... will Hogan miss a big taping like that? Will he even be the champion? There are some rumors going around that the time is now for Ted Dibiase and while it may not be at WrestleMania... but Hogan could lose that title to him soon!

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Providence, RI – Civic Center Prime Time opens this week with Gorilla and Jesse running down the WrestleMania card and how tonight we will have the final card released. They are welcomed in by Mr. Fuji who is with Don Muraco & Demolition. They say they are going to be in the corner of Sika tonight as he goes up against Tito Santana. Fuji announces that Sika will be in the $20,000 battle royal! We cut to the ring! Tito Santana vs Sika w/ Mr. Fuji -Well Sika isn’t the only one here alone… Tito brings out the British Bulldogs to help with the odds. This one is pretty fun for the crowd as the fighting starts to go all over the area. The finish sees Demo and Muraco getting involved only for the Bulldogs to help things. The finish sees Santana hit the flying forearm but the big man goes back through the ropes. Tito then hits the ropes and comes with a flying dropkick and Sika goes flying off of the apron into Demolition and Muraco! All four men are laid out while the referee counts to 10 and Santana gets the win. He and the Bulldogs celebrate and head over to the announce table. Tito and the Bulldogs put over the big win tonight and say they have challenged the team of Muraco and Demolition to a six-man tag at WrestleMania! Fuji comes over and accepts and we have got another big one signed! *COMMERCIAL* Prime time is back and we see the team of Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell… the Killer Bees! They are back in the WWF and put over traveling throughout the country and battling some of the top teams in the country. They put over how the best tag team competition in the world is right here in the WWF and they are looking to challenge any and all comers. The Rockers vs Los Conquistadors -A really fun contest for the Rockers who will be in eight-man tag team action in next week’s main event. They will join Bull Ganter and Jim Powers in taking on Slick’s Army of One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Hercules, & Paul Roma! Tonight they handle Los Conquistadors with ease and hit a big double fist drop for the victory! We then see Slick’s Army come out and put over the big eight-man next week! They also put over the $20,000 battle royal and say that they have the best chances to walk out with the money and to make sure that everyone knows their place! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Ted Dibiase and Big Bossman. They are putting over the WrestleMania main event with Hulk Hogan. Dibiase says he has taken every dollar he had left and put everything on himself to win at WrestleMania. He says it isn’t a gamble when he knows the outcome and that Hulk Hogan is going to pay the ultimate price in Chicago. Speaking of Chicago, Ted Dibiase has got the Big Bossman to make sure that that oversized punk William Perry doesn’t get involved! He is going to secure law and order the right way along with making sure that everyone understands that his reign as WWF champion will be one that no one will ever forget. Gorilla and Jesse put over how next week we will see Hulk Hogan here on the show and he will have William Perry with him! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Billy Jack out here with Hennig, Sting, and Tonga Kid. Billy Jack is lined up to take on King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania and he says the ribs will be healed. Curt Hennig is set to show Rick Rude why he is the perfect wrestler! Sting and Tonga Kid are going to be in the $20,000 Battle Royal and are looking to help each other out until it comes to the end and then it is every man for himself! The crowd then erupts when Randy Savage comes out and he is on fire. He is running down Barry Windham and says that he is coming for Windham! He is going to make sure that he feels the pain! He may have lost the crown but he will not lose the title and he will never lose Elizabeth. Savage is going to stay on and you can tell Jesse is pumped to do commentary with him... SIX MAN TAG Curt Hennig, Sting, & Tonga Kid w/ Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy, Rick Rude, & Manny Fernandez w/ Bobby Heenan -A HOT main event with some of the brightest stars in the WWF right now and a lot of stories going into it. There is a lot of taunting with Bundy right now as he is making gestures at Haynes who has the busted ribs. The highlight of the night is seeing a slick ass exchange between Rude and Hennig and they catch as catch can pretty hot before we then cut to Sting who comes in like a house of fire. He is so green but damn he has got SO much energy when he runs inside that ring. He brings some big time power but he is run down by the big King Kong Bundy. The Heenan Family has the cohesion but the energy of the babyfaces is enough to drive them tonight. The finish sees Haynes pulls the ropes down on Bundy who goes flying out of the ring to the floor! Sting with another death defying leap over the top rope and landing on the big man. This all leads to Tonga Kid hitting the ropes and nailing a flying headbutt on Fernandez who runs into a German Suplex with a bridge from Hennig for the 1...2….3!! The crowd goes nuts here with the HOT finish as Sting, Hennig, and Tonga all celebrate with Billy Jack in the ring. The crew all celebrate and work the crowd… *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time returns with Gorilla, Jesse, and Savage who are putting over the final WrestleMania II card... WrestleMania II WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart Tito Santana & The British Bulldogs vs Sika & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji $20,000 Battle Royal Bull Ganter, One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Roma, Hercules, Manny Fernandez, Jim Powers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Honkytonk Man, Sika, Sting, The Tonga Kid, Brutus Beefcake, Brian Blair, & Jim Brunzell, and others.... Randy Savage then jumps back on and promises everyone that he is going to make Windham respect him at WrestleMania. Bobby Heenan then comes out and says Savage is a real big man for calling out Windham when he isn’t here! Savage jumps over the announce desk and he is looking to go after the Brain but out of the shadows comes Windham! He nails Savage with a chop block taking out the knee! Windham starts to stomp and kick away with Heenan as they are tearing after Savage. Here come agents and officials to try and break things up as the crowd is irate! Gorilla and Jesse put over the Mania Card and this. They talk about the big eight-man next week!

Only thing I'd do different is bold the match title rather than ALL CAPS. But that is just a personal preference. Good job getting Martel and Nikita ready for the big stage. My money is on Nikita to take the title and be the man in the NWA. There is no better time than now for him. 86 was a great year for him. He's had a Hogan feud. He is in the limelight. NOW IS THE TIME FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

I cannot express how fun it is to have a team like the Steiners flourishing down here and prepping for an eventual WWF run. They are in such good hands and I know that is an essential piece to our working agreement. They are currently booked out until July 1st and will be taking down names and numbers to being available to other promotions on request. Contact the WWF booking office for details!

I really like the push of Bam Bam throughout the world. He is a true talent and being treated as such in our world. It is really fun to see how the names like Misawa, Kawada, Chono, and Muta are intertwining at this point in their careers. A truly special opportunity for you with the JWA.

I like the touch of the locations with your talent. It is something to make note of with certain guys and you're doing it the right way here. Piper is destined for some big things here in the AWA and certainly won't get lost in the shuffle.

This card is really shaping up. I look forward to seeing how it shakes out.

I really appreciate the effort you're putting into your promos. I really like the verbiage and how it continues to set up the stories in MACW. You have a great package with talent and story for MACW to really become more of a force in 86 with the NWA!

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Brantford, Ontario, Canada – Civic Centre Prime time opens this week with footage from SNME again and the announcement of William Perry being in the corner of Hulk Hogan for WrestleMania. We then see a lot of build up from Gorilla and Jesse on the main event tonight for the IC Championship. We will also have an updated card for WrestleMania at the end of the evening tonight so stay tuned. We then cut to the ring for our big opening contest! Brutus Beefcake vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan -A good opener with some big names but the big story is King Kong Bundy and his recent issues with Hulk Hogan and then tonight his brutal beatdown of Brutus who plays the foil well. He hits a couple of avalanches in the corner and then we see Rude and Fernandez come out and they are trying to get him to continue the onslaught before the crowd pops for Sting, Tonga Kid, and Billy Jack Haynes (with his ribs heavily tapped!) They jump into the ring and back the Heenan crew off… Billy Jack jumps on commentary and tells everyone that he has got a couple of things to say to the Heenan Family and he wants to have a special word with King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania! Curt Hennig joins the crew out here tonight and it is announced for next week a six-man tag with Hennig, Sting, & Tonga taking on Bundy, Rude, and Fernandez! Billy Jack says he will be in the corner for his buddies just to make sure Bobby Heenan DOESN’T get involved! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Heenan and his family around the podium. They put over the six-man next week but now Barry Windham joins them. He puts over his match with Randy Savage and says that he will be there tonight for the Lumberjack match… he hopes Savage doesn’t lose tonight because he’s the one who wants to take the IC title from him at WrestleMania but he won’t be surprised if Savage doesn’t make it through the evening! Heenan says that Bundy is all lined up to take on Billy Jerk Haynes at Mania if he is healthy… if not he will be joining Manny Fernandez in the $20,000 battle royal! As for Rick Rude, he is going to show Curt Hennig a thing or two and why he made the wrong choice instead of the perfect choice to join the Family! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with footage from Superstars and the turn by Paul Roma on Jim Powers. We see Gang, Roma, Hercules, and Nikolai all at the podium with Gorilla and Jesse. Slick is putting over his men in a big way and says they have all been signed up to win that $20,000 at WrastleMania! He says that tonight he is going to unleash his mightiest Russian, Nikolai Volkoff on that good for nothing Bull Ganter and show him what it is all about! Bull Ganter w/ Superstar Graham vs Nikolai Volkoff w/ Slick -A really fun midcard contest with Bull Ganter REALLY gaining some steam in recent weeks.The crowd is getting behind him with the help of Superstar Graham. He can still talk the talk and help Bull get to the top. This one is a power vs power match but the Bull has got a little more steam in the engine. We see Nikolai go for a running knee lift but Bull ducks out of the way before hitting the ropes and then a huge shoulder block that knocks Nikolai over the top rope to the floor! Bull then goes out on the apron and runs off with a big clothesline and Nikolai is down! Slick tries to come from behind with a cane shot but Superstar grabs it and nails him! Bull makes it in the ring for the count of 10 and gets the victory! The crowd pops in a big way here for Bull and Superstar as they go over to the podium! Bull and Superstar put over WrestleMania and talk about Bull being involved in the big $20,000 battle royal. He says this is the biggest payday of the year for him and he will go through every member of Slick’s Army to get his hands on that money. He puts over how Roma turned on Powers but Bull says that he, Powers, and the Rockers would love a shot at Slick’s Army down the line. He says that the battle lines have been drawn and now it is time for WAR! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Jimmy Hart and his crew. The Tag Champs look Fabulous while the Hammer seems to be a little distraught! Honky continues to move and shake around while Jimmy puts over the big tag team championship match for Mania and says that Bret and Jim Neidhart have no heart and whatever they have left will be smooshed come WrestleMania. He then says that the Honky Tonk Man is going to shake, rattle, and roll his way to $20,000 in the big battle royal! Then Jimmy turns his attention to Dino Bravo. He and Greg Valentine just obliterate him on the microphone. They run him down and run down the who country of Canada which doesn’t go over well here at all in Brantford. The crowd then explodes when Dino Bravo and the Hart Foundation walk out! They are Canada's own and they are standing up to the Hart Family! Dino Bravo says that he will be at WrestleMania to defeated Greg Valentine but he doesn’t want to wait! The Harts are holding him back while the Fabs and Honky hold back Valentine. Jimmy Hart is still running his mouth on the microphone before Bravo is able to get his hand on him and push him away! The crowd is white hot for this one! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the big night and our huge main event with Savage and Muraco. They put over more the idea of all of these men who will be outside the ring and the feuds that could break loose in a minute’s notice out there. We cut to the ring for this huge contest! INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP LUMBERJACK MATCH Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji -What a main event. These guys get some time. The issues outside the ring do start to overshadow the issue inside the ring with so many men out there and all the feuds we’ve seen set up for Mania. We see officials and agents come out and perhaps tell them to take a back seat to what happens inside the ring here and we see a very fun 16-minute contest. Barry Windham comes out midway through the contest and serves as a distraction for Savage who attempts to go out there a fight him a couple of different times but to no avail! The final moments see some chaos as outside of the ring we see the British Bulldogs chest up with Demolition and then all hell breaks loose as they continue to fight outside the ring. Then we have Mr. Fuji get involved and nail Savage in the back with the cane while the referee’s back is turned. This leads to Muraco rolling him up for a 3-count and a presumed victory as the crowd is shocked. Tito Santana however gets up on the apron and he explains what happened to the referee much to the chagrin of Jesse Ventura who can’t believe he’s sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong! The referee restarts the match and Savage comes with a high knee that nails Muraco into Fuji on the apron. Savage rolls him up and gets the victory and retains the title. Muraco and Fuji are arguing with the referee as Savage holds up the title. He then looks out and jumps over the ropes to go after Barry Windham! The crowd is going wild as all the wrestlers are getting involved to try and hold these two apart! Savage isn’t able to get his hands on him as Windham and the Heenan Family retreat! My oh my what could happen when these two get their hands on one another at WrestleMania?!? *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back and Gorilla and Jesse put over all the big action from the night and the big matches signed for WrestleMania. WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart $20,000 Battle Royal Bull Ganter, One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Roma, Hercules, Manny Fernandez, Jim Powers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Honkytonk Man, and others....

Pretty good event from Chetwynd. I really like that Tully finish. I also like how you split up your teams for tag matches... shows they aren't one demential wrestlers. Looks like we've got some issues with Adonis... he's got legs to be something special here... I like where it is going.

PR continues to roll with some fantastic story telling. Always interesting to see Colon go down in the main event and have to find a way to fight back. He is a man's man down there which makes it that much more special.

Ann Arbor gets a special night of action headlined by Dan FN Spivey continuing to roll all over everyone. I do have to ask... does this Spivey have a mullet or is it the WM 2 Hogan esq Spivey? I always thought the mullet was the best look for him. The other big piece of the card is Piper and Orton who are set to turn the AWA on its side.

Pretty good television there with some good guys getting some big wins to keep their favor in the UWF. I am a huge fan of Butch Reed so seeing him with the fire is a big deal and I hope bigger things come for him in the future.

WWF Presents: WRESTLEMANIA II Live from the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Illinois MAIN EVENT WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Refrigerator Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ The Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart GRUDGE MATCH Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Plus a $20,000 Battle Royal and much much more!

Big time event in Amarillo and lots to dissect. At the top, I want to see what comes of this Texas Dream now that Dusty is around. Jimmy Jack vs Leatherface is honestly a guilty pleasure to see especially with Texas Death rules. You know I am really big on Studd and he is really on top of the world right now, I hope he continues to shine with some roster movement in World Class. Big time main event... fatal four way... cage.... Schultz has got a real momentum swing right now that we've allowed him to be back in the game... and what a way to capitalize on him. A guy who could run around Texas and be himself... and work his magic.

Been addressed privately to keep from spoilers.

I am all in with the push of Spivey and also Bigelow making waves. The AWA has been a hotbed for new talent and you are showcasing it in a big way to go along with your established top guys.

I will say that the rise of David Sammartino from his WrestleMania match last year to his current status has been one to watch and throughly enjoy as a guy who has seriously done way too much with not that much talent. Looking forward to the 10 man tag with a lot on the line there along with Martel vs Race and Orndorff who is going to set the place a blaze coming in against Bruiser Brody. Top three matches sell the card while we continue to see the builder underneath. Great stuff.

Crockett Cup action doesn't disappoint with some fun angles and matchups throughout the show. Cornett and the Express winning is a HUGE deal within the NWA and puts them at the top of the list in line with the NWA titles. I also echo the sentiment of Nikita being a force in the NWA now... he could very well be the next man in line with Martel and he could walk out with the gold if/when they meet on a big stage.

Love seeing Spivey get some love over here. Makes it worth while to see his star power grow all over. Great stuff with Japan as usual. Love the graphics as well from FPW... The game I suck at.

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Hershey, PA – Hersheypark Arena Prime Time opens with footage from SNME. They put over the beatdown of Andre the Giant, Demolition turning on the Hart Foundation, the coalition with Randy Savage to take on the Heenan Family, and the big main event with Hulk Hogan defeating King Kong Bundy! Jesse and Gorilla put over the night’s action and the big trio of matches all leading to WrestleMania is just a couple of weeks. They said they will have an updated card at the end of the night tonight. We then cut to the ring for our big opening contest with six-man action! SIX-MAN TAG Bull Ganter, Paul Roma, & Jim Powers w/ Superstar Graham vs Hercules, Nikolai, & The One Man Gang w/ Slick -A pretty fun 13-minutes six-man tag with the size and strength of Slick’s Army really coming to fruition. They are showing these guys a thing or two but we get to see the Bull come back in a big way. He is hammering down with some big time shots. The Bull looks great but it just isn’t enough. We see the team of Roma and Powers do some good work but the big moment happens when Jim Powers looks to finish off Nikolai with a dropkick but he moves and Powers NAILS Roma and he goes flying out of the ring. Powers is looking on but here comes Hercules from behind with a full nelson! He is locked up on powers as Bull and Gang are fighting outside the ring. Powers goes up and comes down with a full-nelson slam for the 3-count! Slick and company all get out of there looking strong! We then see another instance of Roma and Powers really arguing! Roma walks off as Powers is trying to apologize but nothing doing. Bull is trying to get them together but this is something. *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back and we hear from Mr. Fuji who is with Demolition, Sika, and Don Muraco. He puts over his stable and says that they are going to destroy everyone in their path. He says he has signed for Don Muraco to face Randy Savage next week for the Intercontinental Championship and his Demolition will be there to make sure that they walk away with the title! Mean Gene says it has been announced as a lumberjack match right here on Prime Time next week! We’ll hear from Savage later on! Lanny Poffo vs Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji -A pretty good beatdown from Muraco who has had a lot of victories leading up to this contest next week against Randy Savage for the IC title. Jesse and Gorilla put over the idea of a lumberjack match and how dangerous is can be. They wonder what will happen with all of those arms and legs outside the ring and just who will prevail! Muraco hits the modified tombstone for the victory here tonight! We head back to the booth where we see the British Bulldogs come out. They put over the tag team ranks of the WWF and say that Demolition are a disgrace! They talk about someone turning their back on friends is no one to be trusted and no one to be respected. The Bulldogs say that they will be lumberjacks next week and hopefully they can keep order outside the ring! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Randy Savage in the booth with Gorilla and Jesse. They are putting over the big WrestleMania match with Windham. He says that he is amassing an army to take on the Heenan Family! He is coming with everything he’s got to get it done. He then puts over the big Lumberjack match next week against Don Muraco! He says that he has to defend the title but he is going to hold on to it to defend it against Windham and he will not only defend it but regain the crown! Sting & The Tonga Kid vs Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez w/ Bobby Heenan -A really fun tag team encounter with a very young Sting teaming with The Tonga Kid. They’ve got some speed and strength but Rude and Fernandez are a notch above. Heenan does a masterful job outside the ring and gets Sting’s attention leading to a double team by Fernandez and Rude and a Rude Awakening for a 3-count. Rude and Fernandez win the contest and work the crowd outside the ring while Sting checks on Tonga Kid inside the ring. He looks out to the fans…. Sting leaps out of the ring and lands on Fernandez and Rude! The crowd is going nuts! Agents and officials come out as Sting works the crowd! This guy has got something! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time finishes up this week with Andre the Giant coming out and talking with Jesse and Gorilla. He says that he has signed a contract to take on Stan Hansen at WrestleMania and will show him why he is the one true giant in the sport and he will make sure Hansen feels what it’s like to be in there with a GIANT! The crowd pops for Andre who will be at WrestleMania!

WWF Presents: Saturday Night’s Main Event VII 3/1/86 Atlantic City, NJ - Convention Center Ballroom Bobby Heenan w/ King Kong Bundy: Atlantic City baby… tonight right here on the Boardwalk… we deliver the Avalanche to END Hulkamania! That’s right Hogan… I have already phoned Chicago… you won’t be at WrestleMania… you won’t even make it out of Atlantic City tonight! Ted Dibiase w/ The Big Bossman: Haha… I told everyone that I was made of money and I wasn’t lying. I made close to $100,000 today down on the boardwalk. That kind of money is going to go right back to the table when I gamble it all tonight Andre. You may be a giant among men but I am a giant with my wallet and tonight I have got just enough money to shrink you down to size. HAHAH! Andre the Giant: Ted Dibiase… I know you are a dangerous man with you money but tonight no money will save you from me! Manny Fernandez w/ Rick Rude: I can see red right now Randy Savage. When one member of the Family is around… the others are sure to follow and brother we are coming for you! We are coming to put you down! Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth: OHHHH YEAAAAHHHH! Manny Fernandez the ragin bull tonight you step in the ring with the Macho Man dig it! Now I may not be a matador but brother you look into my eyes and you see the red. I am coming for you like a Savage man brother. I am coming for you with the passion of 1,000 fires and they are going to come down on your with the force of an atomic bomb in the form of an elbow drop right through your chest. OHHHHH YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH! Jimmy Hart: I am so sick and tired of hearing everyone talk about Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart. Well tonight boys… I am going to make sure you don’t make it out of this match with anything because it may end up being more than you bargained for! Bret Hart w/ Jim Neidhart: I guess Jimmy Hart has a plan for us tonight Anvil and quite honestly, that’s the way we like it. We want you and the Fabs at their best so that we can prove to everyone we are the best tag team. We’ll take those titles and show the world why we’re number one! Hulk Hogan: Well I came up the coast this week and I saw all the waves crashing into the Boardwalk but there was a brisk wind in the air. I saw some snow start to fall and I saw the ice start to form and it made me wonder. Just what would happen if an Avalanche hit Hulkamania. Would I have the power to survive? Would all of the Hulkamaniacs out there be able to hang out? Well tonight King Kong Bundy… I have got some Avalanche insurance and tonight we are going to take care of you and show the world that Hulkamania is the strongest force in the world and can not only withstand anything but will destroy you! Vince: Welcome everyone to Atlantic City and Saturday Night’s Main Event! I am Vince McMahon alongside Jesse the Body Venutra. Jesse, what a night we have in store for the fans right here on NBC. Jesse: Very rarely do you get to see a show this caliber on television McMahon but tonight we have got one for the ages. Vince: It all starts off with the big guy… Andre the Giant taking on Ted Dibiase. Jesse: A classic wrestler vs brawler. I think Dibiase has the smarts to take Andre out and if it isn’t the smarts, I know he’s got the money! Vince: We’ll see about that. Then we have the big eight-man tag! Jesse: I spoke with Jimmy Hart earlier today… he has got just what he needs to make sure Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart never wrestle again after tonight and Demolition may just be collateral damage! Vince: From there we have Randy Savage taking on Manny Fernandez! Jesse: I will never pick against Randy Savage as I do feel he is one of the best all around wrestlers in the world but I know tonight he’s got some extra fire and he will need to keep it under control! Vince: And of course we’ve got the big WWF Championship contest. Hulk Hogan defends against King Kong Bundy! Jesse: I said it before and I will say it again. Hulkamania isn’t Avalanche proof. I have seen him hurt from it before and tonight he will be hurt from it again and it will cost him the title! Vince: Fans what a night we have in store for you… let’s head to the ring! Andre the Giant vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman -A pretty solid contest here from Andre who is never on television. He and Dibiase play a fun cat and mouse game but the real play comes from the Bossman outside the ring. He is doing everything but jumping in there to get involved. Andre does finally get his hands on Dibiase and he sells like crazy for him. Teddy flies all around the ring and Andre looks fantastic before chaos ensues when the Bossman jumps in the ring but Andre catches him and headbutts him! The crowd is stirring but then out of nowhere it is Stan Hansen! Hansen comes out of the shadows with a big lariat and Andre stumbles but it is 3 on 1 and then tie Andre up. Hansen then grabs the cowbell and starts digging it into Andre’s head and he’s busted wide open. Officials and agents come out and Hansen is pounding everyone! Dibiase and Bossman all but retreat here to the madman from Borger Texas who is just going NUTS! Andre breaks free and starts after Hansen. Andre is bleeding profusely from the head as Hansen is up the aisle, running for his life. *COMMERCIAL* We return to SNME with a special promo from Jimmy Hart and his Family. They are putting over how they are the ones who dumped the Harts and it wasn’t the other way around. The Fabulous Ones make note and say that they will be Fabulous Winners here tonight and the Hammer vows to break a leg while Honky says he is going to Shake, Rattle, and Roll! The Hart Foundation & Demolition vs Greg Valentine, Honky Tonk Man & The Fabulous Ones -A pretty fun contest here with all eight-men getting involved here and there. This one goes about 14-minutes with the big happening of the Harts and Fabs lighting up the crowd. The momentum turns however when we see Mr. Fuji come out and he and Jimmy Hart are talking. Jesse and Vince are trying to make note of what is going on here. Inside the ring we see Bret Hart getting double teamed. He goes to make a tag but Demolition both drop down to the ground. The Anvil jumps down and asks what’s going on before Demolition turn on him and start beating him down outside the ring! What in the world is going on here?!? Demolition is beating the hell out of the Anvil. Inside the ring, Bret Hart is picked up by Lane and Kiern and we see the Crescent Kick to German Suplex finish for the 3-count. Ax and Smash put the boots to the Anvil and then go over and shake hands with Mr. Fuji! We see some more of the beatdown in the ring with the Hart Foundation getting beaten up by the Hart Family before we cut to the back with Mean Gene and Demolition! Mean Gene is going wild on Demolition about what happened but they make their case plain and simple. They say that they had the tag titles from the Fabulous Ones but they were outdone by a manager! They are trying to get their rematch but couldn’t get it done without a Manager! So they went to the most devious of all managers in the WWF and Mr. Fuji has signed Demolition. He promises to take them to the top of the WWF mountain and to make sure everyone in their path will feel pain and destruction! *COMMERCIAL* SNME is back with Randy Savage and Lord Alfred Hayes in the back. Savage is putting over his feud with the Heenan Family and says tonight he is going to be bringing some backup just in case Heenan and the Family show their faces! Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth vs Manny Fernandez w/ Bobby Heenan -A pretty fun contest with Savage who is white hot right now as a babyface and Heenan who is garnering some major heat due to the Windham stuff. This one goes about 6-minutes before getting a little scratchy when Barry Windham and Rick Rude come out to the ring but then we see Curt Hennig and Billy Jack Haynes come out and join Savage. The final 10-minutes of the contest see a lot of mind games out of the Heenan crew but when chaos ensues it is Savage who comes out on top with a huge flying crossbody taking out Fernandez for a 3-count! Savage, Haynes, and Hennig stare down the Heenan Family who retreat. Bobby has his big one coming up or else maybe he would stay and fight! We head to the back with Mean Gene standing by with Ted Dibiase and the Bossman. They put over what they did to Andre the Giant here tonight and what is going to happen to Hulk Hogan in just a couple of minutes. They put over how WrestleMania is within arms reach and so is the WWF title. Dibiase is going to put everything on the line and will do whatever it takes to get the title and put an end to Hulkamania! *COMMERCIAL* SNME is back with Hulk Hogan and Mean Gene and the Hulkster is juiced to the gills and ready to explode right now. He is putting over Bundy and SNME but also turns his attention to Hansen, Dibiase, and Bossman. He says that no matter what happens tonight, he has got a backup plan. He knows Dibiase will go to any costs to try and take the WWF title but he will bring everything and maybe even the kitchen sink to get through this fight. WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan -Big time main event in the late hour spot here on SNME but it is worth the wait for Hogan and Bundy who do battle for about 12-minutes. A little stalling and big man work from Bundy but it proves the point that the big man could take the title from Hogan given the right circumstance. Heenan is outside of the ring really pushing this over the top and he is getting involved every chance he gets. The Hulkster has to find a way to fight back and when he does the crowd erupts but it ends ever so quickly as it began. We finally see Bundy go for the big AVALANCHE in the corner and he puts Hogan down. Bundy then hits the ropes for another big splash but Hogan moves and Hulks up! The crowd is really going wild for the Hulkster right now as he gets up and starts hammering away at Bundy. A couple of big rights and then an Axe Bomber before a bodyslam! Hogan goes for the leg drop but Heenan grabs his leg. This causes the distraction for Ted Dibiase and The Bossman to run down to the ring and attack the Hulkster who is having a hard time fighting them off! It was all a trap to get Hogan! They hurt Andre earlier in the night to lead to this! All of a sudden we see a figure coming down the aisle… is that…. WILLIAM REFRIGERATOR PERRY! The Fridge from the Superbowl Champion Bears is here and he jumps in the ring and pushes Ted Dibiase and Bossman off of Hogan. Bundy then lines up to charge him but the Fridge comes back with a huge shoulder block and Bundy stumbles back. Hogan gets back up to his feet and stands side by side with the Fridge! McMahon says that “Hogan may have forgotten the kitchen sink but he didn’t forget to bring the Fridge for this fight!” Jesse can’t believe these Shenanigans as Hogan gets on the microphone and announces that the Fridge is going to be in his corner at WrestleMania to make sure that the Bossman keeps his nose out of the title match! The crowd pops and what an end to SNME! We’ll see you on Prime Time on Monday!
